Li Qing didn't expect that just because he casually pointed out Long Ji, he was valued by Xiang Liang and appointed as a general.

Li Qing wanted to refuse, but in order to facilitate access to Xiang Yu, Li Qing finally accepted the appointment.

Li Qing's task is to train 6,000 Jiangdong troops with Long He, these 6,000 soldiers and horses are Xiang Liang's newly recruited rebel army, and now Xiang Liang is preparing to cross the river to Jiujiang, join the rest of the rebel army leaders, and then attack Guanzhong together.

Although Li Qing used to spend more time commanding troops than training troops, after all, he had spent so much time in the army, whether it was the Montessori brothers training or Zhang Han training, he had never shied away from Li Qing.

Ancient soldiers and horses are different from modern armies, there are not so many special skills in ancient times, the only thing soldiers need to do is to prohibit orders, be able to obey military orders, and be able to complete military orders in a timely manner, then, they are already a qualified army, but this is not yet an elite soldier, elite soldiers must not only be able to cooperate with each other, but also have extremely high requirements for personal combat power.

Six thousand troops, Li Qing selected a thousand soldiers who were good at archery, handed them over to Zhong Liyi, and asked Zhong Liyi to train them in archery, a mature army, must not lack long-range attacks, so archers have become the soul of an army.

Many people think that archers can't fight in close combat, in fact, this is wrong, in Li Qing's view, archers are powerful people, even if in order to be able to carry more arrows, they are light and simple, and they can't wear heavy armor, but this does not mean that they have no way to engage in close combat.

Li Qing asked Zhong Liyi to let each archer shoot 500 arrows every day, and then practice swinging the sword, while swinging the sword, it can not only improve the melee ability of the archers, but also train the strength of their arms at the same time, which is also good for archery, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and Li Qing also let the archers also wear light leather armor all over their bodies, although this has led to a great reduction in the flexibility of the archers, and they can't carry too many arrows, but Li Qing doesn't care, in Li Qing's opinion, every archer is on the battlefield, It is enough to carry only twenty feather arrows, and as long as you can shoot all twenty arrows on the battlefield, then basically the two armies are about to divide the victory and defeat.

In addition to the 1,000 archers, Li Qing selected 1,000 strong men from the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses, and asked them to equip them with shields and long swords to use as trappers.

The two armies fought, and the soldiers who were trapped were the soldiers who charged at the front, and their mortality rate was the highest in the army, but it was undeniable that the soldiers who were trapped were also the soldiers who were most likely to make meritorious contributions.

In addition to the most basic training, Li Qing focused on training their courage, since they are trapped, then not afraid of death has become the most basic requirement, Li Qing asked them to do it, as long as they give the order to charge, then no matter whether there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire ahead, everyone can not have a trace of hesitation.

In addition to the soldiers in battle, the remaining soldiers and horses, Li Qing handed over to Long and trained, the remaining 5,000 soldiers are the most conventional army, Li Qing let Long and focus on training their strength and obedience, as for martial arts, Li Qing does not think that the soldiers in the army need to learn any advanced martial arts, on the battlefield, as long as you can stab the weapons in your hands, that's it, no matter how advanced the role of martial arts on the battlefield, that's all.

Li Qing came to the edge of the Yangtze River with the trapped soldiers, and Li Qing wanted to personally train a warrior like the trapped camp in the hands of Gao Shun in later generations.

This group of trapped soldiers wore heavy armor, and ran all the way from Huiji City to the edge of the Yangtze River, at this time they were already tired and out of breath, and everyone was gasping violently, but none of them dared to complain, because the general who seemed to them to be as delicate as a woman, was also like them, running together in heavy armor, but at this time he didn't even breathe, in front of him, these strong men were more like women.

What made these strong men even more embarrassed was the big yellow dog that had been following them, and whenever the dog saw which soldier had fallen behind, he rushed up and roared, so angry that the fallen soldier's teeth itched, but he had to continue to speed up and keep up with the team.

Looking at the tumbling river, Li Qing's mood became very happy, he took off the armor on his body, and yelled loudly, for a while, Li Qing felt that all the unhappiness and troubles that had accumulated in his heart these days were taken away by the river with this shout.

The trapped-men looked at each other, but they could feel that their general seemed to be in a good mood, which meant that they had something good to eat today.

"Ah~"

Li Qing looked back at the soldiers in the battle and said, "Unload your armor, and then you go to fish for me, and General Ben will make you grilled fish today." ”

After hearing this, the trapped people immediately took off their armor, put down the sword and shield in their hands, and ran to the river to fish together, these men who lived by the river are no strangers to fishing, and at this time the Yangtze River, the most important thing is all kinds of fish, they don't even need to make nets, just need to cut some wood to make harpoons, you can easily catch a lot of big fish.

In addition to grilling fish, Li Qing also prepared to boil some fish soup for these soldiers to replenish the water of their arrows.

"Uncle, Long said that Li Bai went to the Yangtze River with soldiers and horses for training, aren't you afraid that he will run away with soldiers and horses?"

Xiang Yu came to Xiang Liang's side and said with a puzzled face, Li Bai is Li Qing's pseudonym, and Li Qing has no way to continue to use Li Qing's name.

Xiang Liang put down the military book in his hand and said with a smile: "This Li Bai is a great talent, a real talent, we want such a talent to really work for us, we have to let him feel our trust in him, besides, isn't it just a thousand soldiers, even if he is really taken away, we will recruit again." ”

Xiang Yu scratched his head, feeling that what Xiang Liang said was very right, although a thousand soldiers were a lot, compared to the talent of a general, it was really nothing.

"Wangwang"

On the edge of the Yangtze River, a thousand strong men are feasting on large pieces, delicious grilled fish, bowls of fragrant fish soup, making these strong men feel the feeling of returning from hell to heaven.

The big yellow dog swallowed the fish bones, and although Li Qing threw it enough meat, the big yellow dog still had a soft spot for bones, and it liked the feeling of biting hard objects.

Li Qing drank the last mouthful of fish soup in the bowl, stood up, and looked at the strong men with intoxicated faces, Li Qing showed a sly smile on his face, and said loudly: "From now on, rest for a stick of incense, and after a stick of incense, I will take you to the Yangtze River to take a bath." ”

"What?"

"Bathing in the Yangtze River?"

The strong men who were reminiscing about the food were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand why Li Qing suddenly made such a request.
